You don’t need expensive toxic cleaning products to get your home clean.

While on my investigation to become healthier, I discovered years ago that the chemicals in all commercial cleaning products are toxic and can cause symptoms that most people don’t correlate to their cleaning products. Even the so-called natural or healthy cleaning products are toxic and can aspirate allergy symptoms in sensitive people.

I found that you can use literally 5 ingredients for just about anything around the house, and even for you cleaning needs.

Most of our grandmothers knew these tricks. And here’s a secret about the smell of clean. It smell’s like nothing.

just using 5 ingredients found in your kitchen can supply a deep and health cleaning.

Vinegar: use vinegar for disinfecting and sterilizing surfaces.

Baking Soda: this is the best for tougher jobs like scrubbing and polishing.

Castile Soap: A basic soap that can be used for literally everything!!!

Hydrogen Peroxide : there are 2 types of provide, 3 % and food grade (35%). this can be used as a disinfectant and bleach.

Lemons: a disinfectant and can be used to add a fresh scent to cleaning. You can also soak lemons in a mason jar with vinegar for 2 weeks to combine these two for an all-purpose spray.

Using these items in different combination will give you the perfect clean for all around the house and it will cost you next to nothing.

For sinks and tubs : sprinkle baking soda around the surface and drizzle castile soap over the baking soda. Dampen a sponge with a scrubbing side and work the baking soda and castile soap with water. Once you’ve gone over the entire surface rinse with hot water and look at the shine!

For Toilets: Use vinegar or food grade hydrogen peroxide. Pour 1 cup of either in the bowl and let sit for at least 10-15 mins. Use a toilet brush to work the water around the upper area of the bowl. flush or continue to let sit until next use flush.

For counters: Use vinegar or lemon soaked vinegar to spray and wipe with a dry or damp cloth. for stone countertops use this recipe: 3 tbls. rubbing alcohol, 2 c. water, and 1/4 tsp. Castile soap. combine in a clean spray bottle and shake until mixed well.

For Floors: Hot water and castile soap on all floors. (I use peppermint scent)

For oven and stove tops: baking soda and castile soap to scrub the debris then follow-up with vinegar and a dry cloth final wipe.

For Rugs and Carpets: Sprinkle baking soda mixed with any essential oil of your choice (optional). Mix a few drops in a bowl with baking soda and mix until well incorporated. Sprinkle over carpet or surface area and let sit for 15 mins. then vacuum carpet or shake out rug.

For wood surfaces: I have used castile soap of dusting and wiping wood surfaces for years and everyone always asks what I use on my wood surfaces because they are so rich and polished. Castile soap is the best in a bucket with hot water for dusting.

These are simple cheap and non-toxic ways to clean your home. It’s not as complicated as the commercial cleaning companies make it out to be. Your home will be safer by using simple cleaning ingredients.
